📰 What happened — what the news is about

Amundi — one of the largest asset managers in Europe — launched a class of tokenized shares of its euro money market fund (“Amundi Funds Cash EUR”) on Ethereum.
This tokenized version coexists with the traditional class of the fund: the fund does not change its strategy (it continues to invest in short-term sovereign debt, repos, etc.), it only changes the “platform”: investors can hold their shares as tokens on the blockchain.

Amundi has officially stepped into the next era of fund distribution with the debut of its first tokenized share class on Ethereum — a move that underscores both the rapid rise of tokenized money market funds and Ethereum’s dominance as the preferred blockchain for real-world asset tokenization.
Europe’s Largest Asset Manager Joins the Tokenization Wave
Amundi, the largest asset manager in Europe, has launched an on-chain share class for its Amundi Funds Cash EUR money market fund, bringing a fully regulated financial product directly onto the public Ethereum network. By using blockchain as the settlement and record-keeping layer, Amundi enables transparent tracking of fund units and near-instant, verifiable transaction logs.
The rollout reflects growing institutional comfort with public blockchain infrastructure, especially for strictly regulated financial instruments. The initiative was developed in partnership with CACEIS, one of Europe’s leading asset-servicing providers, which supplies the underlying digital infrastructure. This includes tokenization tools, investor wallets, and a blockchain-based order-processing system that supports real-time subscriptions and redemptions.
Amundi highlights several advantages for distributors and investors alike: instant order execution, 24/7 operability, and expanded access for digital-native investors entering the regulated fund landscape.
Jean-Jacques Barbéris, Amundi’s Head of Institutional and Corporate Clients, emphasized that this first on-chain money market fund showcases the firm’s expertise and the robustness of its methodology for tokenization. He noted that Amundi intends to continue expanding similar initiatives to deliver tangible benefits to clients.
Tokenized Money Market Funds Are Growing Fast
The timing is no coincidence. Tokenized money market funds have surged to roughly $9 billion in combined assets — still a small segment, but one of the fastest-growing categories in real-world asset tokenization. Traditionally, these funds serve as safe, liquid collateral for stablecoin issuers and institutional on-chain operators, offering a regulated alternative to assets circulating freely in decentralized finance.
Their rise signals the gradual merging of traditional finance with blockchain-based markets, forming a deeper, more interoperable bridge between the two worlds.
Ethereum Continues Its Lead in Real-World Asset Tokenization
More broadly, tokenized assets have surpassed $36 billion in value, driven heavily by private credit and institutional-grade fixed-income products. Ethereum remains the leading chain for real-world assets, securing nearly $12 billion in tokenized value (excluding stablecoins). Much of this growth accelerated through 2025, propelled by U.S. money market fund inflows migrating toward blockchain networks.
With Amundi now joining the movement, Europe’s financial sector is signaling that tokenized fund structures are no longer experimental — they are becoming part of the next operating model for global asset management.
